We know that the moon orbits around the earth in a 24-hour cycle.

We know that this orbit does not follow a 100% circular path. The distance between the moon and the earth results in a magnetic charge of different strength, as reflected in the oceanic tides.

High tide happens on the side of the earth where the moon is closest to earth in its orbit, and of course the opposite is low tide. This magnetic pull between the oceans and the moon is strongest when the moon is full.

So far I have not told you anything new. You know that the tides of the sea are important for industries like fishing. You know that farmers are very dependent on the weather, and that they have for centuries planned the cycles of their crops based on the stages of the moon.

Our human bodies consist of about 70% water. If the water in the oceans respond to the magnetic pull of the moon, would I be a lunatic (luna = moon) if I say that we also respond to the magnetic pull of the moon in the way we behave?

Apparently not. Responding to the full moon is not only for kaftan-wearing New Age followers. It is known that during full moon crime figures and domestic violence increase.

I have become aware of my own emotions and what happens in my life since discovering this, and I can see the correlation.
